Economics Milestone 3

Overview: In this third milestone assignment for the final project, you will conclude your analysis of the economic problem presented by the hypothetical CEO or board of directors in your selected company (Microsoft, Heinz, or American Airlines). Using the information gathered in your theoretical and quantitative analysis, you must now develop some substantiated and meaningful recommendations for the decision makers. What plan of action should they take? How are your ideas supported by the market structure? How does the data suggest relationships and trends that may point to a course of action? Does your suggested plan of action involve risk or uncertainty and, if so, what tools do you recommend decision makers use?Prompt: To complete the third step of this final project, you will submit a set of recommended solutions to the CEO or board of directors outlining the reasoning behind your ideas. Explain the quantitative relationship among the relevant economic factors, and defend how these relationships, trends, and impacts drive your proposed solution(s). Emphasize the logic behind your processes, identifying the implications of the different options. To do this, offer answers to the following questions:1) What will likely happen if the stakeholders follow your recommendations?2) What will likely happen if the recommendations are not followed?3) What are the consequences of inaction?Be sure to discuss how the market structure (pure competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, or pure monopoly) in which your company operates has impact on your recommendations.To conclude, identify how your recommendations promote the goals of your organization.
